Bayern Munich midfielder Renato Sanches has moved to Swansea on a season-long loan.
The Premier League club have not secured an option to buy the midfielder, but have agreed to pay a loan fee of €8.5 million.
Sanches, 19, won the 2016 Golden Boy award and was voted best young player at Euro 2016 but has struggled to meet expectations at Bayern since his move from Benfica last summer when Bayern successfully beat off competition from Manchester United for his signature.
Sanches started only six Bundesliga games last season, failing to score or provide an assist in 25 appearances in all competitions, while completing 90 minutes on just a single occasion.
"We're delighted we've been able to conclude the load deal with Swansea City. Our goal was for Renato to gain regular match practice at club level in a strong league such as the Premier League," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
